Webb Street is located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 498 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 251 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 256m away. The median property price is £138,000, with strong growth of 15% over five years. Based on 27 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity.
